Carole Meredith —Carole Meredith — the UC Davis viticulture professor who pioneered DNA fingerprinting of wine grape varieties and definitively proved that California Zinfandel is genetically identical to the Croatian grape variety Tribidrag (later renamed Crljenak Kaštelanski) — and her husband Steve Lagier produce tiny-quantity Mount Veeder Syrah, Mondeuse Noire, and Cabernet Franc from volcanic western ridge estate terrain with the most personally accumulated grape-genetics knowledge and academic science conviction available from any California wine producer.
✓
The varietal choicesThe varietal choices reflect Carole Meredith's most personally genetics-curious and academic commitment to the varieties that DNA research has revealed as historically consequential or distinctively individual: Syrah from the Northern Rhône tradition whose specific genetic identity Carole's UC Davis research helped clarify, Mondeuse Noire from the ancient Alpine red variety whose genetic relationship to other Savoyard varieties her laboratory identified, and Cabernet Franc from the most historically significant Loire-Bordeaux genetic ancestor.
